After logging into yahoo mail the first mail screan loads, any links followed
after that, or clicking on mail from a different browser window sent me to a
login session expired screen.  I tryed this several times, as well as rebooting.
 I then reinstalled version 1.4 of mozilla (which allways worked fine in this
reguard) and the problem was gone.  I have observed problems with very long data
strings in cookies hanging up in my firewall, and have blocked mail.yahoo.com
from setting cookies for this reason.  But this does not seem to be the problem
given that it worked fine with previous versions of mozilla.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.block mail.yahoo.com from setting cookies
2.possably a netgear fire-wall is needed
3.login to yahoo mail, and click on the inbox link

Actual Results:  
was redirected to a page saying that the session is expired and to make sure I
have cookies enabled.

Expected Results:  
kept the cookie, and stayed loged into yahoo mail.

Is this a problem with 1.5?

> 1.block mail.yahoo.com from setting cookies

you can't do that. You block it from getting cookies too.
